The British Extradition Treaty.
!. The British extration treaty which came
over from the last session Of the Senate was
taken up in secret session to-day and de-
bated for about three hours and half, but
no action was taken. The members Of the
foreign relations committee supported it in
speeches of some length, those of Senator
Edmunds, Morgan and Evarts being the
principal ones Vest is said to have made
motion which was not acted upon to strike
out that portion Of the treaty which f0rbids
extradition for offenses of political nature
on the ground that this if left standing
would prohibit extradition Of dynamiters.
Riddleberger vigorously opposed the whole
treaty, declaring substantially that the re-
cevery of a hundred boodlers from Canada
would not offset the surrender of single
Irish patriot, a refugee from British oppres-
sion.
Evarts replied to Riddleberger setting
forth the defects in the present treaty which
enabled swindlers from New York to find
speedy and safe asylum in Canada.

ing on the proposition to divide the town of
Pittston a week from next Thursday. The
people of the town are much excited over
the affair and lively fight is expected.
Representative G. E. Warren of the commit

seem inclined to favor the division. The
committee has, however, reported favorably
on the bill to divide the town of Eaton.

The KnightS of IUtHidS Picnic.

me hnf9hfS Of PythidS I'iCnic.-
Tuesdays picnic under the auspices of
Frostburg City Lodge, No SS, X. of
p, was the finest affair of the kind
held here in many years.
About 1870 a. m. the visiting lodges
from Cumberland, Lonaconing, Bar
ton, Piedmont and Keyser, and the
Frostburg fire department, escorted
by the Frostburg Lodge, marched
from the depot to the Centennial
grounds. There was plenty of music
from the several bands in line, a bril-
liant display of uniform and regalia.
At the grounds the usual amusements
followed, all of which old and young
enjoyed. The addresses by Messrs.
B. A. Richmond and George L. Wei
ington were most happy efforts, and
both gentlemen merited and received
the most complimentary plaudits.
The next conspicuous feature of inter-
est took place about the middle of the
afternoon-the competitive drill be-
tween the Homecoming and Barton
drill associations. Capt James Mar
tin commanded the Homecoming as
sociation, and Capt. j. H. Jarboe the
Barton. Both associations evinced
careful training and a praiseworthy
effort on the part of the men to excel.
The prize, an elegant sword, was
awarded to the Homecoming associa-
tion. The day passed off without a
jar, and, as said in the outset of this
item, it was one notable for success in
every way.

of early starting the proposed school.
Father DeWulf will occupy the ac-

be turned ever to school purposes until
the contemplated building east of the
church can be erected. The plan is
good one. Father DeWulf, while
moving with great caution. is moving

edifice ornamental alike to the church
property and the town.

THE NEW PATENT
OSCILLATING PRINTING PRESS.

Nc,c Press.-The JOURNAL signal
izes its entry into the seventeenth year
by introducing a valuable acquisition
to its equipment, consisting Of a New
Patent Oscillating Printing Press from
the Campbell Press Company. Of New
York. 1t is q No. = of the make
named, capable Of printing a paper Il
column per page larger than the Jour
NAL. In addition to this brief dcscrip-
ton we quote from the manufacturers ::
This is the simplest cylinder press ever pro-
duccd, as shown in cut herewith printed, and
runs absolutely without noise. For its
weight, strength and capacity it is also the
cheapest printing machine i'll existence.
Its solidity will he mquestioned when it is
known that, even with its extremely simple
mechanism, the No. l weighs 400 pounds.
1t is capable of running by power fully up to
200 impressions per hour, and may be run
easily by hand at proportionate speeds. It's
actuating and moving parts are so simple
that it will outwear any country press in cX-
iStence three or four times.
1t delivers the clean side of the sheet to the
fly, and therefore is eXcellently adapted to
poster work, while for country newspaper and
Job work il is without a rival. Its operation
while printing is precisely the same as the
weIl-known stop-cylinder, but without any
of its complications. 1t will therefore, give
perfect register, and the register cannot be
affected by wear.
The new press takes the place Of
the "Guernsey," a machine of ante
6el1um patent and make, aud which has
been long ago regarded as out-of-
fashion. The latter has gone to the
Far West.
The shipment of the Guernsey" and
introduction of the "Oscillator" were
operations attended with no little
labor, Notwithstanding we had at our
command the native skill and ripe ex-
perience of Alfred johnson, of Brook
lyn, a printing press machinist. The
heavy work fell upon Messrs, John
McCaughan, W. S. Hoblitzell, c..
Eugene Graham, Lewis Schaub, w.
H. Parker and C. H. Parker, and oc-
casionally Il volunteer. The "Oscll-
lator," though rated as one Of the
cheapest of standard presses, is still
a costly machine, as may be judged
by the fact that our No. ,, as it stands
in the office, cost $976.70. We be
lieve, however, that with some other
additions in contemplation, the results
will justify the outlay.
The foregoing account will partly
explain the delay of issue this week.

embedded in the Braddock Road on
Savage mountain a cannon ball. where
it had lain doubtless since 1855, the
year of Braddock's march to Fort Du-

and corrosion have no doubt reduced
its original size. 1t is nearly as large
as base ball.

payments. therefore, mean the enact
ment Of law providing for a semi
monthly round of picnics and foot
races also? Does it mean that where
poor men lose one day now, they will
lose two days then? Does it mean to
double the opportunities for gam
bling, and to weaken by half the
credit of those who must have accom-
modatlon Is the raking and
scraping Of companies to meet their
pay rolls to be multiplied by two
that the privilege of squandering
them may be augmented by the same
equivalent to the unfortunate earn
ers?
This is one Of the evils which gave
rise to our remark last week that the
proposed law chad no foundation in
the needs of a single worthy man in
this region" and we say now with
more emphasis that it has not the
shadow Of basis in the needs of the
man who hazards his wages and thus
testifes that in case of loss he is able
to do without them.

The seventeenth volume of the JOURNAL

As this is the initial issue referred
to now is the time of all times when
we should be at peace with all the
